Within your walls so calm and still, they gather there. They learn to love, to hope, and think of great deeds to achieve, But they will grow and graduate and soon they all will leave. So guide them that they ever may be faithful, fair and true, And with tender, precious thoughts they will remember you. E. L.

VVe elected Lamont McLean as our leader for the first year. During the year we had one party at the home of Grace Gibson. The next year we came back and resumed our work together as Sopho- mores, all except Grace Gibson Pauley, who died during the summer, and several other members who moved to some other schools. This year we elected Elsie Miller as our president. We held one party during the year at the home of Bernice Lamb, where everyone had an enjoyable time. This year our class was represented on the basketball squad by Lamont McLean and Robert Mayo. We began our Junior year with a few more former members missing. W'e chose Fred Klaiber as our captain this year because of his business ability. Again Lamont McLean and Robert Mayo answered the call for basketball players. This year we had to turn our attention to the Junior reception which was given in honor of the Seniors. It was held at the home of Mr. Odas Brown and was a great success. The rooms were beautifully decorated in the colors of both classes, and dainty refreshments were served. The Cheadle sisters, of Oxford, Indiana, furnished the entertainment. When we reached our last year Lamont McLean had moved to West La- fayette, but Charles Sempill and George Morelock joined our class and the latter was elected president, he being a person of very masterly mind. He came here from Kempton, Indiana. This year we set our aim at publishing the fourth annual B. G. H. S. Tomahawk. We gave a play. Robert Mayo, Harold Emerson and Ralph Nelson fought for B. G. this year on the basket- ball squad. We regret it very much that we n1ust leave Battle Ground High and those happy school days behind us. ,usa r7ni1r7si1r7i1r751r?i1r?i15i1m1Wi1nV51tm T H E T 0 M A H A W K 751r751r'fi1rhi1rKi1WiKw'1riiiwwimi' Class Will We the undersigned, highly intelligent and respected Seniors of Battle Ground High School, Tippecanoe Township, County of Tippecanoe, State of Indiana, of the United States of North America in 'the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-six A.

FRANCIS ROSS CHARLES SEMPILL HARRY RANSDELL 097 'V' I ,, W THE TOMAHAWK SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Liverpool, England, October 6, 1946. Mr. Francis William Ross, 431 Dartmouth Ave., Duluth, Minnesota. . Dear Francis: At no end of trouble and expense I have located every member of the class of '26 of Battle Ground High School, and you know we are supposed to have our get together party this Hallowe'en at Sycamore Lodge, my old home on the VVabash. I trust your hardware business is doing well, Francis. I read recently where you purchased the Hawkeye Tool and Hard Metal Company. Tl1at's fine. And how is your wife? I heard some time ago from my partner, Harold Wesner, that you had married Doris Parks. Congratulations. I am sure Ralph Nelson could come. He is living in Benton county on a six-hundred-forty-acre farm, is married and has a son, who is the perfect image of Shorty. I think he married LaRhue Ransdell, did he not? Have you seen Fred Klaiber lately? Do you know that he has been graduated from DePauw University and is a minister of the First Christian Church of Canton, Ohio? I think he could arrange it so he could get a short leave of absence to come. And of course our old friend Elsie Miller will be there. She has a very nice position in the Elkhart, Indiana grade schools, teaching the seventh grade and supervising the playground. Fern Maxwell has married a Purdue graduate and lives at Reno, Nevada. Rena Spencer and she are as good friends as ever. They had a double wed- ding and they live in the same apartment house. Rena's husband is the chief of police of that city. Bob Mayo went to Purdue but decided he wanted to enter the sporting would, so he played pro-ball with Cleveland for a few years and he has now signed a contract to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates. Harold Emerson carried out his wishes. He graduated from the In- dianapolis Undertaking school, and he is now 'a licensed undertaker in Louisville. As far as I can hear he has remained single. Bernice Lamb is a dressmaker in Rockford, Illinois, where she makes dance frocks for the fair damsels of that vicinity. Nelle Mae Lamb married a gentleman named VVQ'-:llman of Indianapolis. I-Ie owns a Gent's furnishing store there. ' George Morelock is assistant professor of Technology in Columbia Uni- versity. He recently announced his engagement to a very charming lady instructor of Home Economics. 1 Pearl Nelson has long since married Duane Lamb. They reside in Gales- burg, Illinois. Pearl runs a charming millinery store. Duane is a cement C203 ii'W71Yl'f'51DiN7T7i 'iirimi 'i'1Y'6i1I7fY T H E T 0 M A H A W K r7K1mv'5t7Nvir'61W15i'r751isi1W contractor and is doing well. Pearl is soon going to sell the shop in order to devote more of her time to her home. Harry Ransdell took a pharmacy course in Purdue and after graduating he bought Walters' Drug Store. I-Ie has married Bessie Slayton who has re- mained modest and unassuming. They live in Battle Grou-nd in the old Crowell homestead. Esther Burkhardt is a teacher in the Battle Ground High School and is doing well. I am sure she will be able to come to our get together, won't she? As for my self I have remained single. I was disappointed in love after graduating from the Indiana Law School of Indianapolis, and turned wo- man haterf' I-Iarold Wesner and I have made good at our law firm in Liver- pool. Well, Francis, I'll see you about the twentieth of the month at Battle Ground. Your old classmate, CHARLES VV. SEMPILL. - YY 1 ri.

Malone acting as manager of Lower 7 takes an opportunity to cause trouble when McShane, manager of Upper 7 is ill. He makes it very dis- agreeable for the Upper 7 ranch. Hughes is appointed manager until one from the East arrives. Ned Fielding and Douglas Mason are working on the road. The Black Raider was stealing and causing much troubleand Hawk- ins the sheriff, can not find who it is. Malone is in love with Rose Hawkins and hates Hughes, whom he thinks Rose cares for. Fielding catches on to the Black Raider and dresses accordingly. Rose and Ned are in love with each other, and Rose is very much wrought up because she thinks Ned has something to do with the Black Raider. Genie comes from the East and takes charge of the Upper 7 and wins out against Malone. A party of ladies comes from the East and are not used to the rough western ways, and be- come very frightened. Malone shoots Fielding because he finds his mistake in thinking it was Hughes. Genie saves Ned and Tom McShane, fGenie's Cousinj saves her from Malone. Fawn-No-Fraid, the Indian girl, tells that Malone robbed the Sedhill bank. He is captured and released be- cause of his parents and The Black Raider was Fawn's father, so they are permitted to escape. Blake helps them and Fawn and her father and Malone go away from the West.

Not all even completed one-fourth of the journey with us. VVe were so busy removing the thorns' and briers from our path that we had no time to pluck even one bouquet of the social flowers that grew by the wayside. Again we assembled to find that five braves and three maidens had chosen another path. Dora Harris and Edna Patee had joined our tribe. Mable Mullendore left us about the middle of the year. We followed the footsteps of Olive Ostendorf this year and seeing that we could easily com' plete one half of our journey by the end of the year we stopped at the home of Margaret Pierce one evening and enjoyed a nice party. This year, Alas! There are only ten maidens and six warriors to start on our last half of the journey. Lo! 'tis at the end of this half that we shall leap the harvest that we shall have sown. We chose Ivan Miller to lead us over the rough places this year. On October 7, we were all very proud to receive our new class rings. November 3 and 4 We gave ia play entitled En- gaged By Wednesdayf' the money cleared from it to be used for a reception for the Senior Tribe. We are very proud that three braves from our tribe played basketball three years. They are james Campbell, Ivan Miller and LeRoy Tesmer. Harold Wesner and Dora Harris have heard the cry of alligators and landed in Sunny Florida. - L. O., '27.

Violet Shaw SYNOPSIS Arthur Watson and Lucille Persons, long destined by their aunt and mother, are told, after a separation of seven years, that they are to get en- gaged at once. Neither of them likes the idea, and being personally unknown to each other, each persuades three friends to masquerade under their names for a day. Each of Arthur's friends selects for a partner one of the girls, who are masquerading under the name of Lucille, and thinks he has found Miss Lucille Persons, so Arthur and Lucille are left to themselves. After many thrilling experiences, they become engaged by VVednesdayg thus fullfilling the wish of their aunt and mother. This play was given in the high school assembly November 3 and 4, 1925. It was the first play given by the junior class in Battle Ground High School and met with great success, drawing a very large crowd. The proceeds will be used to give a reception for the Senior class some time in April. 4261 ' So homorfs fx! xl I 4 , ol I si A A Q4 3 ?

They have endeavored to absorb all the countless icliosyncracies of algebra, that Mr. McClanahan has daily expounded to them. lt was such a strain that three of the loveliest maidens were forced to abandon it. The class as papooses, was very successful, being led in their infancy by the brave Ervin Ross. Various parties were given, at which our sponsor, Mr. Pershing said we behaved as well as could be expected. Far be it from us to dispute his word. - When we met as Sophomores, we found Mary Harris one of our tribe miss- ing. Elen Ralph and Catherine Servis left us later. VVe are guided over the rough path this year by John Roadruck. Our parties were not so successful this time. The first one could not overcome all the obstacles in its way so we abandoned the plans. The other one, a skating party at Lois Smith's turned into a non-skating union, for no one could skate or endure the cold weather. All ate something they called chili-con-carne, and enjoyed themselves by the warm fire. n Altogether we have been a happy, merry-hearted group. Here's hoping we are all back again next year to annoy everybody in general- and our wits in particular. Also we hope to pay our dues more regularly and willingly. Hurrah for old B. G. May she be always proud of us. ' B. W., '28, Sing a song of students Cramming for exams, Flocking to the library Like a bunch of lambs.

We lost several of our eighth grade papooses but nine came from other tribes and took their places. We have seventeen in our tribe now. Our new members are Mary Emma Dawkins, Esther Corns, Marie Statton, Hester Thompson, Leslie Martin, Ralph Johnson, NVil1iam Mulvey, Ernest Cassaday and Clarence Davies. At the beginning of the year we elected Georgia Storms as our Big Chief, Ernest Cassaday as our second Big Chief, Marie Statton as our secretary, and Richard Vtfettschurack as treasurer. Our only hope is that the coming Freshmen will not be as green as we were. D. P., '29. THE OLD AND THE NEW Still sits the school house in the yard, But its in use no more, The glass is most all broken out, Of every sash and door. In its front yard the new one stands, So haughty and so proud, And from its doors the children come, A solid mass, a crowd. They romp and play the live long day, Out on the large school grounds, And from the shouts of childish glee, You know that joy abounds. The olden games are gone for good, That used to bring us joy, But slides and swings and every-thing, For every girl and boy. The old one sits and looks upon, .VVhh dark and gkxnny eyes And thinks of all the happiness, It held in days gone by. But why should it sit in scornfulness, Or be envious of the new, I think it should be happy, To see one better, don't you? Bob, '26.

COFFIN, Coach This is Mr. Coffin's second year with us and he has certainly fshown his superior ability as a basketball coach. Not only is he a first-class coach. but a man that any basketball squad should be proud to have with it. Four of last year's five graduated and one moved to XVest Lafayette, leaving Mr. Coffin to develope an entirely new team this year and from the success of this team, he certainly has done it well. VVe are hoping he returns next year.

This is not a bad score considering the fact that the team was quite inexperienced. Many errors in team play was evidenced, yet it was a much better game than the score indicates. November 12-Montmorenci fHereD g Gur ancient rivals from out of the west invaded our camp and car- ried away the honors by a 26-22 count. It was a fast, well-played game throughout. November 25-Romney CThereJ ' This was a hotly contested game. At the close, we were one point ahead f24-231 but some how or other the Romney score book showed that the count was 25-24 in their favor. Thus we lost our third consec- utive game. December 4-West Point CHerej After completely out-classing the visitors in the initial period, Ginger Rivers 8: Co. came back strong in the final session and snatched a vic- tory out of our hand by a 30-27 score. This game proved to the fans that we had a great team, in the making. December 11-Dayton fTherej Again we completely out-classed our opponents in the initial period. but their Cigar Box VVonders wilh the aid of the official, emerged victorious in an overtime tilt by a 20-21 score. December 12-Attica CHereJ There isn't enuf bad luck in the world to last forever. So after playing consistently for forty minutes, together wilh a few breaks of the game, we held a 23-18 advantage. Thus we broke into the win column once again. December 18-Rossville QTherej It took us about ten minutes to get accustomed to the Livery Barn . From then on, however, it was a nip and tuck affair. The early lead was too much to overcome. so we lost to one of the best teams in this section 25-40. December 19-Monon QHerej Old Man Luck seemed to be traveling in the other direction and we lost a well-played game. C563 w'i1n Rrr'E1W1W1v'i1FmT1r75 TTDTATWTY T H E TOMAHAWK The County Tourney-January Small gyms are a jinx to game. january 1-Brookston CTherej In a slow, uninteresting 15-10. The small gym was 28-29 us for sure, Stockwell 29C?j 28. Overtime game, Brookston won by a slow score of again the jinx. january 2-West Lafayette CHerej The team, going into the game with a determined spirit, played hard and succeeded in winning another good ball game by a score of 31-17. january 9-Monon fTherej The team played much better than the score indicated. The handi- cap of posts and a poor playing floor were too much to overcome, so we were trailing 24-36 at the end. january 16-Carthage Tourney The event of the year, to the players as well as the coach. Leaving early Friday morning we traveled by Lafayette, Indianapolis and Knightstown, arriving in Carthage at 4:00 p. m. The next morning at 8:00 we pried the lid off the tourney by defeat- ing New Salem 32-10. This brought us up against New Palestine, vic- tor over Carthage at 2:00 p. m. Both teams emphasized defense so the score was low, 15-12, New Palestine winning because they got the break of the game. VVe arrived home at 6:00 o'clock Sunday evening, tired, though happy, even if we didn't win the prize. January 22-Remington fTherej The Remingtonhsix-foot giants played over our heads, and under the low beams of the old garage, winning 26-12. Nevertheless, the team played hard and did their best under the circumstances. The trip in the big bus was thoroughly January 29-Romney QHerej enjoyed. Out to win! Out to win! Avenge that former bitter defeat! That was the battle cry. Trailing 20-16 at the first half, we came back fight- ing mad, and in a whirlwind finish obtained sweet revenge by a 38-33 count. February 5-Brookston fHerej We feel and play better when we are at home. As a result we avenged the former defeat by a 23-17 count.

Every one was wild when the score was knotted at 29. Then for the remaining four minutes no more dogged nor exciting basketball was ever played. The gun barked and the score stood 35-31 in our favor. February 12-Montmorenci CHerej Led by Capt. Tesmer, our team won, 40-27, in a game of machine-like basketball. Tes's sensational shooting and the excellent guarding and the team work of the others soon put the game on ice. It was the great' est exhibition of basketball ever seen on the home court. February 19-Rensselaer CTherej , The game was fast throughout. wilh the thrills being furnished in the first half by Rensselaer and the second period by Battle Ground. The half lead of 26-ll was a little too much to overcome, the final score being 40-37. February 26-Dayton fHerej Rough and ready were this Dayton bunch, but they could not cope successfully with our clever team. VVe won, 30-20. February 27-West Lafayette fThereJ By playing excellent ball in every department of the game, the B. G. team accomplished the thing that no B. G. team ever did before. Beat West Side on their own home floor, 27-19. It was a worthy victory, and an ideal way to close our 1925-1926 regular schedule. 5- ng- , if Am R A 'f- .- -3. 'OCD-, 1,2 'fs r 2 M'--lfz..
